Inspired by early brain decoder work for locked-in syndrome patients, Sava argues that neurotechnology is at a watershed moment requiring ethical guardrails before consumer deployment. Two runners-up were also recognized for papers on AI in public defense and agency in neural-controlled prosthetics. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
